Im a 41-year-old female. Ive been sick since December 4. I went to my physician December 6 due to a sinus infection which he prescribed me a zpak. Took enough pak kept feeling worse and very weak. When to the ER and P.A. there said I had an upper respiratory infection was told to get rest afrin and an otc decongestant which I did. Kept blowing lots and lots of green mucus from nasal passage and coughing the same green mucus from my mouth non stop tasting nothing but infection when I swallow. Still feeling horrible and extreme fatigue and weakness. I retun by to the ER 4days ago this time I was told after chest x-ray and lab work that I have a bad sinus infection and bronchitis. The doctor gave me a bag of iv fluids and a bag of levaquin and a prescription of levaquin 750mg 1 a day for 10 days. I have been taking them for 4days the green mucus is still coming up not as much but I still have no energy at all so weak and extremely tired. I still feel no what like me before all of this what is the cause of the unbearable weakness?
Causes for non-genetic hemochromatosis.
Can too much alcohol cause this condition? Will anything help me get better or is it permanent now for me? If so, will no longer drinking improve or treat the condition? I admitted to my doctor I have been drinking excessive amounts everyday because I’ve been unable to control extreme stress in my live. She sent me for blood tests, which revealed very high iron levels, but it used to always be low, or low side of normal range before the stress & drinking. I am a 52 yr old female of northern English parents.
I have been feeling unwell for about 10 days now. Sore throat, cough, pain under right rib and then spots appeared on my hands and now my feet. They are becoming itchy and don’t seem to be going just more appearing. Not sure if i should see a doctor or just wait until they disappear.
Many thanks,

Female Age 52. She has Scleroderma and takes the following medication:Thyroxine, Folic Acid, Ferrous Sulphate, Nexium and Metotrexate. Symptoms -contraction of the jaw (mouth passage), tightening of the skin all over the body, Joint pains, loss of apetite, cannot walk and confined to Bed, Low Blood Count, passes Blood with feces and urine ( sometimes). Has a sore above the Buttocks which causes severe pain.
I’ve been having constant headache for about 10 days now. It’s a steady pressure across my forehead and side area. Sometimes it radiates from my eyes/eyebrows. It’s not throbbing pain. Sometimes I would have low-grade fever but it would go away after drinking paracetamol — but not the headache totally. Sometimes I would feel nauseous maybe cause of too much movement.
I also noticed that when I bend over, I would feel more pressure on the head. Sometimes there’s this feeling of ‘drowning’ up my nose.
Once in a while I would feel pain or pressure at the back of my ears and I’m not sure if that’s connected.
I feel fine when asleep. But when I wake up, after some time I’d feel the headache again that would last on-off all day long until I sleep again.
I had my urine and CBC checked last week, all normal. Also had my ultrasound of KUB cause we thought I had UTI but also came out normal.
Hello my name is (…), I’m 53 year old female and I have a history of high blood pressure, acid reflux and enlarge thyroid with multiple nodules. On my last ultrasound in 2014 it showed I had multiple nodules did a biopsy and they came back negative for cancer. 12/21/2016 I had another ultrasound done and it came back with multiple nodules, but this time their larger and hypoectoic, been having a lot of pain in my throat along with some choking when I eat, or drink something and my voice has change to were it’s deeper. Can you tell me just want is going on with me. I want to just have it removed and be done with the unlikely chances that it’s cancer.
Thanks,

A year ago: Woke up with my upper left arm in pain. (where the deltoid and the bicep meet) At first, it felt similar to the feeling of a body part “falling asleep”. The pain progressed rapidly. On a scale of one to ten I experienced a ten. The pain was so deep, as if I was being tortured from inside my arm, that I could not use my whole left arm. Shooting down to my fingers. I immediately took ibuprofen about 1500 milligrams. Once the pills took the pain away I was exhausted from the pain and my arm was sore. No trauma or surgeries. All I can think of is I do sleep with my arm raised above my head. But I never had problems sleeping that way before. 6 months later it was happening again. Same arm same spot. Although the second time I immediately took ibuprofen. Almost a year later after the second incident I experienced it again. Except the pain was now affecting the right upper arm. Same pain same spot. Opposite arm. This third time was about a week ago.
29 year old male. Original symptoms were chest pain, weakness on the left side, and my throat feeling tight on the left side. Had several ekg’s, blood tests for hear attack, electrolytes, and thyroid. All cane back normal. For the past 2 weeks my hearthroat still pounds, and I still have the left side pain, but even more so o have servere head pain. The basecond of my skull and back of my neck hurt, my jaw hurts, I have severe pain on the top of my head, behind my eyes and my nose and in my cheeks. I am dizzy and get nauseous, and my muscles always feel weak. I am waiting to see my pcp, I was told to relax so I took a 12 day vacation and it’s getting worse. I don’t know what to do.
I have tried Tylenol, ibuprofen. Aspirin, flonase, and nothing has helped. I have been applying heat to the back of my head and neck to try and ease the pain. The only thing that makes a difference is pushing down on the top of my skull gives me minor relief for a short period of time. No fever, but I get hot and cold spells, the pressure gets worse through the day and has destrogen my quality of life. Im afraid to work, to exercise, to do anything. I of course look up symptoms online and make myself more anxious. But I’m really trying not to
I have a history of brain cancer and heart disease and clots in my family, so that fear is there, but this pain has slowly been growing worse day after day with no relief and I don’t understand it. My pulse feels fine everywhere I check it, and my mucus is Normal colored and my nose is not stuffy. Is there anything I should request from my pcp?
My son is 8 years old and has been having abnormal blood work for 2 years now and I’m not sure what to ask the doctors to look into. Unfortunately if I am not a bit forward we don’t even get a call back about his blood work.

He has many headaches, fatigue, is not very active. I brought him to a pediatric neurologist with our native clinic who only asked questions and did no tests. It seems if I am not specific on what tests to run I really get nothing. I have asked for vitamin D for him to get the levels up. We live in Alaska, but at sea level and no one smokes. I’m concerned about the HGB levels and can’t think of any reason for them to be up to speak with a doctor about.

32 year old female. I take zytomil 10mg a day for depression.
Have terrible heart palpitations since last year june 2015. I take purbloka 10mg 3 x a day.(only if they bug me and mostly take it during the night). Question is why does my heart race so much after eating, drinking, walking short distances like 1km, deep breathing etc. I do know that excess worry and stress cause this too.
Also i sweat constantly. I was on high blood pressure tablets amilorectic 5mg tablets but have stopped as they dont help with the sweating and every time i check my bp its normal. Havent taken pills since last year September.
Hi, my mother was diagnosed with multiple myeloma 3 years ago. She is currently taking thalidomide and dexamethasone and some medications to control her diabetes and is doing well to keep the multiple myeloma condition controlled (lab results are good since she started taking thalidomide).
Few months ago she started having a swollen eye on her right eye and has been seeing multiple doctors and received different treatments that did not help. Recently she was referred to the autoimmune specialist and was told that the swollen eye was causes by autoimmune reaction and was diagnosed with anterior uveitis. She was then prescribed another medication.
Two days ago, that swollen eye got much worse and now there is a cloudy area on her lens. See attached picture.
Do you think this is a condition caused by her multiple myeloma condition or just severe anterior uveitis? Is there a possibility of her having eye cancer?
In addition, is there any treatment that can be recommended to treat her eye condition?
Thank you so much for any insight that can be provided.
My 18 yr old daughter had a spinal fusion in June. Two days afterwards she had bilateral swelling in the supraclavical area of neck. They are the size of lg eggs. The size changes daily. Now 7 months later she gets choked when eating and says the areas hurt. We have been to family Dr three times, two different ent’s, an endocrinologist. She has had ultrasound, MRI & been tested for Cushing’s. All of which were negative. Neurosurgeon says not from surgery. We have been told not going to die from it since it’s both sides, that its just fat, andi have noidea but its not normal. Please help my daughter! We are so tired of no answers!
